WinPE Customization

Thanks for the reply,

You mean build a El-Torito XPE OS for the sole purpose of
installing our main XPE OS? That sounds like it would
work. How would that effect the licensing? Because there
would be 2 OSes distributed with every CD.

I have considered using sdi2hd and maybe thats the way I
should go. I'm not entirely sure on how to combine it all
into one CD that's bootable.

Have you've done any of these?

Maybe someone else can answer the licensing question. SDI2HD would work.
It actually works from DOS so you'd have to boot using DOS. I don't know
what the WINPE licensing implications are -maybe someone else does. I
believe you can use the WINPE on CD 1 (ie. boot from CD1) and deploy your
image using SDIMGR
